Host a Macmillan Coffee Morning
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
A Macmillan Coffee Morning is a fundraising get-together over cake and coffee that anyone can put on at home, at work or in a village hall. Macmillan Cancer Support says you can host one anytime, anywhere and in any way you like, and it sends registered hosts a fundraising kit.

Where to go
We opened this link on 8 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. Events have fixed dates and entry or ticket deadlines. Physical events add a training plan from our guidance engine, and its length is set by the engine, not by the date you would like.
